  Zero-length and one-element arrays are deprecated, and we are moving
towards adopting C99 flexible-array members, instead.

Address the following warnings found with GCC-13 and
-fstrict-flex-arrays=3 enabled:
sound/firewire/amdtp-stream.c: In function ‘build_it_pkt_header’:
sound/firewire/amdtp-stream.c:694:17: warning: ‘generate_cip_header’ accessing 8 bytes in a region of size 0 [-Wstringop-overflow=]
  694 |                 generate_cip_header(s, cip_header, data_block_counter, syt);
      |                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
sound/firewire/amdtp-stream.c:694:17: note: referencing argument 2 of type ‘__be32[2]’ {aka ‘unsigned int[2]’}
sound/firewire/amdtp-stream.c:667:13: note: in a call to function ‘generate_cip_header’
  667 | static void generate_cip_header(struct amdtp_stream *s, __be32 cip_header[2],
      |             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE
routines on memcpy() and help us make progress towards globally
enabling -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 [1].

Thanks for the patch. I applied it to for-linus branch as a fix for
v6.4-rc4, instead of for-next branch.
